People coming and going has always been a reality in the NBA. Even the Seattle SuperSonics, which has very, very little personnel turnover, cannot escape this iron law.

The Seattle SuperSonics selected Ty Lawson and Danny Green in the draft.

At the same time, this summer the team will also lose the most important substitute player in the past three years, Jose Juan Barea.

As the core of the Seattle SuperSonics' bench for the past three years and one of the most famous sixth men in the league, after Barea got permission to leave, many teams sent offers to the two-time championship super substitute.

Invited.

As a small defender whose official height is 1.83 meters and whose actual height is estimated to be just over 1.7 meters, perhaps not many teams will pay a large transaction price for such a player.

But since the Seattle SuperSonics have not set up any trade obstacles for Barea to leave, it makes people very, very excited.

He does not have enough organizational skills, and coupled with his height, it is very difficult for him to be a starter in the NBA.

But Barea has proven himself on a championship team.

He can become an important piece of the puzzle for the championship team.

Moreover, his experience of two championships is enough to make teams aspiring to the championship attractive.

The Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, Denver Nuggets, and even the Miami Heat have all offered Barea an olive branch.

Barea is simply the substitute sixth man that these strong teams covet most. The way this little man stepped forward at the critical moment against the Heat in the finals is really impressive.

So much so that when Barea left, many Coconuts and Sonics fans didn't understand.

Not to mention other teams.

If you have to choose between James Harden and Barea, even coconut fans and SuperSonics fans know who to choose, right?

"James is a very interesting kid. When he was willing to bear Artest's fatal blow for Yes, I swore that no matter what his performance in the NBA was, I would not criticize him, but,

It's hard for me to believe that the team would actually keep him. I believe that as long as the team reveals even a little bit of information that can trade James, jj will not leave, but it is a pity. I wish jj good luck, he will always be

He is the No. 11 of the Seattle SuperSonics. I look forward to the day when JJ’s jersey is retired at the New Key Arena. He will always be a legend of Seattle and the pride of the SuperSonics!”

This was the first response from the No. 1 fan in the NBA and the No. 1 SuperSonics fan after the news came that JJ Barea was leaving.

And his response basically represents the voice of all Seattle SuperSonics fans.

For now, since Barea has chosen to force the palace to choose one of the two requests.

It's hard to imagine the Sonics keeping James Harden, then.

Of course, the SuperSonics never wanted to punish Barea by forcing him to die. Barea knew this and everyone knew it.

So as long as Barea is willing to be teammates with James Harden, he will always have a contract extension with the SuperSonics ahead of him.

But as James Harden screwed Barea so badly last season, no one would want to continue to partner with James Harden.

Barea is the best sixth man in the league. He was cheated by James Harden last season and disappeared from the regular season. At the end of the season, he was selected by some eye-catching and unscrupulous media as the "10 fastest declining players in the NBA."

, if Barea hadn't ruined the Heat in the finals, Barea would have been ruined by this group of unscrupulous media.

Therefore, when Barea forced the SuperSonics to oust the Sonics, the news came out that he could choose either me or James Harden. Almost most SuperSonics fans were on Barea's side.

but……

The attitude of the fans is not important, what is important is the attitude of the team.

Seattle's stance is ambiguous, even in the middle.

James Harden's team doesn't want to give up, and Barea's team doesn't want to give up either.

But such an attitude is almost equivalent to siding with James Harden.

Therefore, Barea, perhaps the best substitute player in the league, flowed into the free market and became a hot commodity for teams aspiring to win the championship.

Fans of the Lakers, Spurs, Nuggets, Rockets, Heat, Grizzlies, and almost all teams competing for championships have recently been crazy about blackmailing James Harden to increase Barea's favor with them.

But faced with such pursuit, Barea's attitude was very vague.

Leaving the SuperSonics is a sure thing.

But Barea's first choice wasn't to join a championship contender.

Barea's first choice was to join a team that was neither that strong nor that weak as the core.

Although his third season with the Seattle SuperSonics was horribly screwed up due to the arrival of Harden, but even so, what he did with the SuperSonics was basically the ultimate as a substitute.

Now that the substitute has been developed to the extreme, the next step is of course to become the core of a team like Ginobili.

It doesn't have to be a starter. With his height, he never expected to be a starter for an NBA team.

Therefore, Barea is very clear about his goals and positioning.

He doesn't want to leave the Sonics, but now he has to leave. He loves Yes and loves the Sonics, but he really doesn't want to partner with James Harden.

Now that he has left his beloved Sonics and Yes, how could he just repeat the role of Sonics? Of course he hopes to go one step further.

He knows his own strength very well, and now just being an ordinary sixth man can no longer satisfy his strength.

He wants to be a core player like Ginobili!

However, there are many teams interested in him, especially strong teams.

But there is no team willing to give him a core position.

These teams all want him to come to their team and do what he did with the Sonics.

After all, these teams still don't have that much trust in him.

After all, although the Spurs and Popovich are tired of Ginobili, there is only one Ginobili in active NBA service.

As the Leafs and Seattle prepare for the draft, Barea has been traveling around the league.

Yes and the Sonics' front office are still very concerned about the outcome of Barea's tour.

After all, even now, Yease and the Sonics don't want Barea to leave.

If Barea doesn't find a suitable team after a tour, there is no hope of staying.

So Yeas and the SuperSonics management are actually very clear about the difficulties Barea is currently facing.

If Barea is not a fake 1.83 meters, but the real 1.83 meters, the sacred height among point guards, let alone the core substitute, if Barea wants to be the real leader of a weak team, there will be teams.

Willing to gamble.

However, Barea is indeed not 1.83 meters tall.

If you are not tall enough, you will not be trusted by most people.

Ye Si and the others all believe in Barea's strength, but this is Ye Si and the others.

Others are not them.

Therefore, after the draft ended and Barea failed to find a suitable buyer, Yeas and the SuperSonics management even wondered whether things could turn around.

But in the end, they were still disappointed.

As July 1st is approaching.

Barea, who has never received a core commitment, actually received four invitations from the team's core commitment on June 30.

One is an invitation from the Bulls, former assistant coach Scott Brooks, the league's new best head coach.

One is an invitation from the Cavaliers, former SuperSonics player and the league's new All-Star starting power forward David Lee.

One is an invitation from the Dallas Mavericks, former SuperSonics player and starting core center Kwame Brown of the Dallas Mavericks.

These three teams have one thing in common, that is, they all have people from the Sonics.

They know Barea better than most other teams.

Apparently, Scott Brooks, David Lee and Kwame Brown convinced their teams that Barea deserved a backup core spot.

In addition to this invitation, there is another invitation that is a bit surprising.

The Golden State Warriors and Jerry West, who were in the limelight after the draft, also extended invitations to Barea and were willing to give Barea a core role in the team.

Four invitations were placed in front of Barea.

Yes and the Sonics knew very clearly that Barea was definitely leaving.

In fact, Barea is not a hesitant person.

Soon he chose the Dallas Mavericks among these four invitations.

As one of the best substitute players in the league and the best substitute for the SuperSonics, Barea is very popular in the NBA.

After Barea chose the Dallas Mavericks, public opinion throughout the league focused on Barea.

This year's free market is too deserted. After Kobe and Tracy McGrady, Barea may even be the most popular.

Kobe is destined to re-sign with the Lakers.

This soap opera between Tracy McGrady and the Rockets made me vomit.

Tracy McGrady has already said that he doesn’t want you to test the goods for one season. This season, he is going to break out of the contract. You damn thing, you want McGrady to play out the rest of the contract. If you are sick, if you have money, you will pay. If you don’t have money, don’t pay more.

Beep, these don’t exist!

The Rockets' owner and management were ridiculed by this soap opera between the Rockets and Tracy McGrady, and even the local Rockets fans were vomiting.
